Do You Have a Type A Personality?

My Cat

Ok, so I don't really have a cat, but this cat has decided to adopt me. He/she sits on my patio chair everday and just sleeps there like he/she owns it. Kinda cute huh!

What I'm Reading

Over the past week, I have had a few of my friends ask me what I'm reading, so in the interest of saving time, I'll just post my list for you all to enjoy.

Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I have just finished reading this one and it was great. It's the story of the life of the Wicked Witch of the West and how she really wasn't so bad, just didn't conform to society.

Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts. As always, her books are fabulous. It's the story of a girl who after fire threaten to destroy her family, grow up to become an arson investigator.

The Undomesticated Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. I just started this book today, but I loved her Can you Keep a Secret so I'm looking forward to this new release.

Vanish by Tess Gerritsen. This was so good and yet another Jane Rizzoli escapade. If you like Eve Dallas, you'll like Jane Rizzoli. She's a rough around the edges cop who always catches her man. I couldn't put it down.

'Til There Was U by Dianne Castell. This was the first book from Castell that I've read, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. This particular book is the first in a trilogy of three brothers who come home to help their father with his newest addition. It's a fun light read.

What are you reading?

Happy, Happy Birthday!

For those of you who may ask, I do have some pictures of everybody, but some people (who shall remain nameless, Bryna and Grandma) put them into formats that aren't really Blogger friendly. :)

Quotations

So I was floating around on my space today and one of the posts I came across caught my attention.

Can you guess the movie just by a quote? (There are some people who possess the talent.) Let's test how good you are. Guess the movie where the quote is from, then post your own favorite quote for the next person.

Here's my quote to get us started.

"What an idiot." (Said in an English accent)


(For a bonus, a TV quote - "Us two? You two are the two who are the two!)

Holiday (sorry, Christmas) Quiz

You Are Vixen

Sexy and sultry, you're the one all the other reindeer dream about. Why You're Naughty: That fur pulling spat you got into with Dancer over Santa. Why You're Nice: Because even when you're nice, you're still delightfully naughty!

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Top Ten Reasons Why I Hate Fox

10.) Major League Baseball interrupts primetime. (Isn't this what the many sports only channels are for or better yet WGN)

9.) There primetime lineup is mostly geared to the MTV crowd.

8.) Prime time only lasts 2 hours. (Probably because they keep canceling their primetime shows.)

7.) Thrives on shows like Trading Spouses.

6.) Uses Cops to fill programming gaps at all hours of the day.

5.) Has one high rated show and encores it every week.

4.) MAD T.V. (Do I really need to say more)

3.) Hasn't cancelled Stacked.

2.) They cancelled Kitchen Confidential after 13 episodes (However, only 4 got to air before the show was preempted for baseball)

1.) They cancelled Firefly after 13 episodes (Do we see a pattern emerging?)

Harry Potter

The new Harry Potter movie premiers on the 18th and I can't wait. To tide me over for the midnight premiere at the IMAX, there is going to be an online webcast that will run simultaneously with the real premiere in England! It's going to be tomorrow at 9am my time. (You all can figure out the time difference yourselves) I can't wait, I am so excited!

An A For Me

I just completed my first certificate and with a 91% to boot. (Golf Clap)

Today I took the online class for my TRC or Transnational Referral Certification. It was a great class and I learned that there are a lot of similarities within the international real estate community.

However, there are a ton of differences and with so many countries involved, it can be difficult to keep straight. Even in the United States there are differences in the transaction depending on the state you live in. (ie: Lawyers, Mortgages, etc) What a fantastic opportunity NAR has given us to not only learn a little bit about how other countries buy and sell real estate, but to learn how to communicate and referral to international agents.

NVAR Annual Conference

Here are the pictures from Tahoe!

I Left My Heart...

I just came back from San Francisco and WOW what a trip. I had such a blast that I just didn't want to leave. We had this fabulous suite that I have been waiting 5 years to stay in. There are pictures here.

Anyway, I was in San Francisco for the NAR conference and of course WCR. There were tons of great classes on how to grow my business and better assist my clients. I also got to meet some awesome people.

At the conference, Betty said goodbye and passed on her title to Gail. Gail's installation was beautiful and we had Idaho Potato Ice Cream for dessert. (Gail's the potato lady from Idaho) During the Governing Board meeting the next morning, Betty presided over her last meeting and even made Gary cry. (He's going to miss her, he just doesn't know it yet!)

Meanwhile, I finally met Gail's daughter Kerri and passed the First Daughter title off. It was great and kinda funny how we met. I was getting off the elevator the first day and talking to someone else and she spotted me. We introduced ourselves and hung out the whole conference. It was great to have someone else there to bounce ideas off of and to simply chat.

Just Listed!

Did you know?

Did you know you can list real estate on E-Bay! This is just too cool, check it out.

I Love Rob, Arnie and Dawn

Rob, Arnie and Dawn are now offically live online. This means that I can now listen to my favorite morning radio show again.

Oh, how I have missed my Rob, Arnie and Dawn.

I mean the only thing that even comes close to being as entertaining is Howard Stern, but he just doesn't completely fill the void. All that is behind me now because I can listen every morning from my computer.

Happy, Happ, Joy, Joy!

Today's my birthday, Happy Birthday to me!

Want to see, Want to see

You are Inara, the registerred Companion. you are
sexy, sensual and skilled, yet have trouble
admitting to your emotions. You swing both
ways.

Which Firefly character are you?

Primetime is Back

For the last five years I have not be able to truly appreciate primetime T.V., which is sad because I really love it. Instead, I have had classes, work and study groups that have kept me away from my shows. The worst was this spring, I was getting up so early (4-5am) that I would fall asleep!

So now it all starts over on a clean slate. I work relatively normal hours and have a DVR so I am sure not to miss my shows. This season is off to a great start. There are so many good shows on now, I love it. Check out my thought and let me know what you think.

Favorite New Comedy
- This one is tied between two new shows, How I Met Your Mother and Kitchen Confidential. Both show have some favorite actors and witty writing.

Favorite New Reality Show
- Is there even a new one out there?

Favorite New Drama
- Bones. When I watched the coming attractions, I was excited to see David Boreanz playing a character who isn't "all bad and moody", only to tune in and find out his character is just that.

Favorite Returning Comedy
- Will and Grace. The live show premiere was awesome.

Favorite Returning Drama
- Lost. I didn't really get into this show until the week before it premiered, but I am hooked. The dialogue is always sharp and creative and the story line just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
Favorite Returning Reality Show
- The Amazing Race. I love this show, you couldn't write stuff like it. The family concept is a little weird, but it give the boards more people to make fun of.

Favorite News Show
- The Daily Show. It just rocks and I can't wait until the Colbert Report begins on 10/17/05. A whole hour of fake news, I won't know what to do with myself.

Anyway, those are my favorites, what are yours?
